Why it's on market again, so quickly?

This ex-Abermann #2 .45 caliber "test" luger (the REAL .45 test luger had a different grip angle) is indeed for sale at auction March 14th, Greg Martin, Anaheim. Contrary to what was posted above, it is not currently owned by Zomber/Ellis but rather to a deceased collector whose family wants to remain anonymous. It passed through a few hands at considerably under the original Abermann price of $900,000. Rumors of its joining #5 in the Norton Museum are merely rumors. It will be interesting to see what it sells for or even if it meets the reserve price in this conservative market.
